Thanks for the info - can someone please explain why these comments are being downvoted? Is it because they could be fake or that people just dislike Joel's company?
I'd guess that people probably thought his comment was fake (not sure about any other comments, even his comment doesn't seem downvoted):
The OP's original comment contains entire praise for the product being described in the article, almost the point to marketing speak -- "it's one of the few products that we use at work, but doesn't feel like work to use".
It also contains multiple smile faces in the post, which make it feel disingenuous. Almost no comments on Hacker News contain smile faces, so mix this with the praise, and people could take it as a comment that seemed fake.
he gives his feedback and says that he would pay for it. the article talks about not charging for trello until you have a large user base. it seems like good feedback from a user, so i'm not sure that i agree with you.
